WIRED Found: The Ultimate Collection
I love WIRED magazine. It has excellent features; interesting contributors; an unpatronising writing style; awesome graphic design; unannoying ads; even the paper it's printed on is good quality. WIRED is, to many, an opinion leading and culturally significant title both ...)
Gutter Talk
Gutter Talk: Hot & Cool in the World of Comic Books The medium we call comics is based on a simple idea: the idea of placing one picture after another to show the passage of time. Legendary comic artist Will Eisner ...)

The Blog is Dead!
The Blog is Dead! › Yongfook – Web Producer.

Will post a review of the lifestreaming technologies I’ve tried to date, but in the meantime I’ll continue trying to make this look like the rest of my site.
